med. bodied, buttery, acidity was out of balance on the first day, but calmed down some on day 2. maybe a bit too buttery at this stage though plenty of fruit and minerals are around. good solid finish. not huge depth but a decent value. needs time to develop.

Straw color. Somewhat reluctant nose of lemon curd. Lemon and minerals on the palate. Good acidity provides laser focus, but doesn't allow for a lot of complexity or nuance at this point. Warm, nutty notes on a very long, very enjoyable finish. This has the stuffing to really develop over the next 3-5 years.

$39.99 retail, before discount. Rahter closed on the nose. Spicy / peppery, with dried herbs, fennel seed and minerals. Nice, but side by side I prefered the 2004 "La Criox" from Denogent (see TN), and from memory, I like the two '04 Denogent Macons at least as much (see TNs), for less $.

Can't believe I bought a wine that is so dominated by oak #1.
